    Oatmeal with sliced almonds. Greek yogurt with flax or chia seeds.
  • I have been boiling enough eggs for the week and gave 2 hard boiled eggs in the morning. Easy and I dont have to think about it every day! Plus I stay full from them.

    I have plain Greek yogurt with fresh fruit and nuts- about 200-250 calories.

    I've boiled eggs for the week and have 2 eggs with an English Muffin. Right now I'm on a baked oatmeal kick. I've been making pumpkin oatmeal muffins, 2 are about 300 calories and keeps me full till about 10:30-11am. There are so many ideas if you Google or go to pintrest.

    I normally stick with a low calorie but nutritious & filling breakfast...and then have additional calories saved for other times.

    I love my zucchini and carrot bowl with fried eggs on top!

    Grate a zucchini and a carrot. Cook in some coconut oil in a fry pan, add whatever spices take your fancy, put in a bowl once cooked. Cook eggs however they take your fancy and place on top! So filling and nutritious with good amount of protein and healthy fats :smile:

    I have steel cut oats with unsweetened almond milk. Those keep me full longer (about 4 hours) and gives me energy for the gym. With black coffee 201 calories.

    I have a protein smoothie for breakfast every day, half of one frozen banana, almond milk (substitute with coconut water, water, yogurt, skinny milk etc), flax seeds, and one scoop of protein powder. I alternate between vanilla and chocolate protein, sometimes add frozen berries, cinnamon or coffee... quite versatile

    Some stuff I eat for breakfast:

    lowcal cereals with 0% milk (cheerios is my staple)
    oatmeal
    boiled eggs
    greek yogurt
    protein shakes
    smoothies
    toast and scrambled egg whites

    truthfully, I tend to not have a lot of time in the morning, so I don't focus much on cooking breakfast and do whatever is fast/convenient.

    Thx Annabelle, I am time restricted too of a morning with early starts at work..... I usually have Special K with sliced banana or sultana bran, or in winter I have plain quick oats....just gets a bit boring, I love poached eggs but would have to have toast with it and I am trying to stay away from bread

    Im in Australia too (Melbourne).
    I eat pretty much anything not just generic breakfast items. This morning I ate leftovers from last night (spinach and ricotta cannelloni) but sometimes I make porridge in the slow cooker, congee (rice porridge... in the slow cooker), omlette loaded with loads of veggies and chilli sauce, rice and garlic broccalini, pho (cooked in the slow cooker). If I cant be bothered cooking or I have put nothing on the night before and have no left overs and I tend to eat corn flakes with milk and strawberries or mango. Sweet potato hash is beautiful with fried eggs on top too (and chilli sauce).

    my go to is nonfat Greek yogurt, granola, berries. It ranges from 180-260 calories and keeps me satisfied for a while. Oatmeal is also good with fruit. Veggie omelettes can be really filling too.

    I go for speed and convenience in the morning as I'm rushing out the door. So i do what a few other people have mentioned and boil eggs for the week and eat those along with a banana, or a serving of Greek yogurt with fruit, or sometimes I'll put cream cheese on a bagel and run out the door with it...they do make bagel thins that are about 110 calories apiece and you could then add an egg to it. I eat a lot of leftovers for breakfast too. I save my oatmeal mostly for night. But everything i mentioned fills me up. (i agree, too, shakes and smoothies don't fill me up for long.)

    I work super early shifts so my breakfast is usually vegemite on wholemeal toast & a banana, works up to 300 cals.

    erin baker's breakfast cookies. Most flavors are around 290 calories. Amazon sells them (Target used to). They are preservative free oatmeal cookies that are very healthy and taste incredible. The oatmeal raisin is awesome!

    Hello Healthy has a lot of good ideas. Try the poached egg + crispy prosciutto with avocado on toast. Lots of yummy goodness for about 265ish calories. Also oatmeal with fruit is good or just a scrambled egg with chopped veggies or spinach.

    Steel cut oats are less processed and have a little more fiber. Tastier too.
    I used to make mine in the crock pot. They can also be put in water or milk in the fridge over night.
